Studiovape's stabilised wood squonkers, here's a quick look

Hi Folk Here's a quick glimpse of what I've been up to , this is one of the prototypes for the limited run mod I'm doing, not the final version, In fact nearly everything will have changes LOL, but just so you know I'm still at it
Every thing done manually and with the mill router etc, even the ciruit board was done on the mill
Finish is eleventy million coats of Tru oil.

thanks Criss, you can see from the brass in the photos that the Everbrite Protectaclear imparted a rainbow colour effect to the brass, not sure I like it, but we will see if it lasts and if I can get rid of the colour.

I saw that. I think I prefer shiney. I tried some high gloss varnish and that seemed stable in the short term but over time the channels in the wood seemed to shrink slightly and buckle the coating. Colour was clear and you could only see it if you were looking (Which I was )

Have a line up of 4 finishes on both SS and copper strips doing the time and temperature test.

How would clear sho polish go on the brass. A metal artist in town here told me he uses that. I could get the specific brand info from him if you like.

Most shoe polish has silicon in it and it's hard to keep seepage away from the wood. Any that gets in the wood repels the oils or finishes.
This is what I found when I played with various wood polishing techniques.
